The Hezbollah-linked al-Manar news website reports that there are several casualties in an alleged Israeli attack in the Baalbek region of Lebanon, a Hezbollah bastion bordering Syria.
Two security sources and the Baalbek governor, Bashir Khader, tell Reuters that at least one civilian was killed and several others injure.
One of the strikes hit the southern entrance to the city of Baalbek, at least two kilometers from Roman ruins, the security sources say.
The three other strikes hit near the city of Taraya, 20 kilometers west of Baalbek, they add.
A security source tells AFP that the alleged Israeli strike deep inside Lebanon “targeted a former Hezbollah building near Dar Al Amal Hospital.”
The source adds that Israel “conducted another raid on a warehouse west of Baalbek.”
Another security official confirms the strikes. There is no comment from the Israel Defense Forces.
